DailyDash quietly records how you actually spend time on your PC, then turns it into honest, descriptive analytics — a day×hour heatmap, plain-language observations, real category breakdowns. No grades. No streaks to chase. Everything stays on your machine.
Three commitments shape everything DailyDash does — and everything it refuses to do.
No start/stop buttons, no project pickers. DailyDash detects the active window, classifies it, and logs the session — silently, from the moment your PC boots.
You'll never see a productivity score, a focus grade, or an Elite/High badge. Just measured facts: time, sessions, switches, peaks — and what they did compared to your own average.
Everything lives in a local SQLite database. No account, no cloud, no upload. Web activity is recorded as the domain only — never the full URL or page title.
Today, Life Journal, Analytics and Settings — each built around real data, not motivational fluff.
The day's active time, broken down by category in a donut, plus a one-line plain-English story and the numbers behind it. Click any app to drill into every session it had today.
A Gantt-style ribbon of focus blocks and breaks, top to bottom, coloured by category. Search it, filter by workspace, and toggle Away time on or off to see the real shape of your hours.
Pick a range and read the trends: active vs. away, sessions, app switches, a time-of-day rhythm, the activity heatmap, top apps and websites, and a trend line of active time over the period.
Group apps into Smart Focus Workspaces, override how anything is categorised, blacklist apps you'd rather not track, and export or prune your data — all locally.
The activity heatmap maps every day against every hour, so the rhythm of your week — the late mornings, the 2pm deep dives, the midnight sessions — becomes obvious at a glance.
Each day, DailyDash surfaces a handful of plain-language notes under NOTABLE — comparing today to your own rolling average. Up, down, or flat. Facts, not verdicts.
Every app is sorted automatically into one of nine colour-coded categories. Disagree? Override any app's category in a click — the colours follow you everywhere.
DailyDash has no servers to phone home to. There's no account, nothing to sign in to, and nothing uploaded — by design, not as a setting you have to find.
The newest build first. v3 is a clean break — heatmaps and honest observations in, scores and grades out for good.
v3 rebuilds DailyDash around descriptive analytics. No productivity score, no focus grade, no AI metric — just the data, presented so you can read your own week.
A polish pass that got DailyDash out of your way: a perfectly silent startup, cleaner background tracking, and an easier way to confirm your version at a glance.
Install from the Microsoft Store and DailyDash starts tracking from your next boot — with native notifications, automatic updates, and rock-solid offline performance.
Get release notes and the occasional workflow note from the DailyDash journal. Nothing else.
